Is it safe to eat ham that has been left out of the refrigerator all day?
It depends if it is cured or sliced etc., but I'd say about a week, on average.

More help with thisBacteria requires air to reproduce and this meat will be sealed professionally. Additionally in the modern era meat is so safely produced and packaged that bacteria will most likely be limited anyway. In this case specifically this ham will most likely have been precooked and this makes it even safer. I would say that your main problem with this ham would be spoilage which again will be in the range of weeks. if it tastes ok you should be ok.Poultry is a completely different story and should be feared. It is rarely sealed air-tight from your grocer and can be a serious health risk immediately. DO NOT LET RAW CHICKEN come into contact with any other foods, clean all tools that come into contact with chicken, clean your hands, use a different cutting board, everything that raw poultry touches will potentially give you very uncomfortable food poisoning and in some cases bacterial diseases that can lead to death.
Cooked ham has been cured before so it can be left in the fridge for 4 - 5 days, but to be on the safe side it's best to have your ham, then cut off what you may want from the next nights meal and then slice the rest of the ham up and freeze. Don't throw that bone out! Make a nice split pea and ham soup and you can add diced left over ham to put in with it. You can also slice the ham thinner to make sandwiches. You also have the choice to mince the ham (if you have a meat grinder) or food processor (freeze it in a Glad bag and press air out) and make Hoagie sandwiches at a later date. Sweet pickled relish and mayonnaise goes great with either sliced ham or ground ham.
For 3 to 7 days.
less than a week then it starts to dry out and loose all of its flavor

How long will frozen meat keep?
6-8 months is the rule of thumb for frozen raw meats. However, I wouldn't keep deer meat or other wild game meats for more than 4 months as well as frozen cooked meats.

It varies depending on the type of meat. See the following link for specifics: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/Focus_On_Freezing/index.asp

How does a refrigerator keep food from rotting?
it compresses air in the pipe's behind the fridge and places it into chamber, to keep it cold it takes air from within the fridge and re-compresses it.A refrigerator will keep food cold by converting gas into liquid, then liquid into vapour. Basic physics maintains that when two surfaces come in contact with the other, the surface with the higher temperature will cool to equal the temperature of its alternate. Coils and metal parts inside a refrigerator are loaded with cold liquid. The liquid inside generates cold air outside the coils. This happens when the heat from inside the refrigerator reduces its temperature to "match" temperatures with the cold liquid inside the coils. When you open a refrigerator door, you generally will notice a dramatic change in air temperature. Food inside is kept cold because the refrigerator is able to convert gas into liquid. That liquid passes through a series of parts that can also opt to change that liquid into vapour--this is done by compressing molecules.
